Desire: Created v. Inherent

            One class discussion that I found interesting was focused on desire.  First we were asked what we thought made up desire.  Next we needed to specifically think about our own desires and how we got there.   Lastly were challenged to think about whether or not there were other concepts or ideas associated with desire.  How do we develop desire? Is it something that develops, and by what? As we began to share our ideas another question developed.  Is desire created or inherent? I personally believe that desire is created and different for everyone.  It depends on who you are, where or what you’re going to do with your life.  It is something that can be controlled if you choose to control it.  It also is affected by outside sources.  People influence each other every day in many ways.  It could be that you helped your little sister with her math homework, and upon seeing how eager you were to help, she develops this desire to be a teacher.  All in all I believe desire is something that gradually develops and is constantly changing.
